Cream as an Aid to Digestion.

Cream is often tolerated by the
stomach when other fats would not
be. Professor Arnold, f Cornell uni
versity, explains its superior diges-
tive quality over butter and other
solid fats. This consists, first, in its
being not exactly in liquid form, but
in a condition allowing of great mo-
bility between its particles, permit.
ting the gastric juice to mix with il
in the most perfect manner, and
with what ever else the stomach con.
tains, thereby aiding digestion. Its
behavior is quite different in this re.
spect from that of the other substan.
ces mentioned. AS soon as these be.
come melted they grease over the
other contents of the stomach, OBJ.
structing, in a measure, the contact
of gastric juice, and hindering, rath.

their digestion.

Where the Day Begins.

Chambers Journal.
According to the way in which this
arrangement is now carried out, the
first land that the day dawns upon is
Easter Island, about 26O miles west
of the coast Of Chilli, South America.
That is to say the I'd of July breaks
here within a few hours of the LIST
having broken on the American coast
to the east, and the two days run on
alongside-the I'd in Easter Island
and places west, the list in all places
on the American Continent. We
may, therefore, realize this idea-that
at 7: 20 o'clock any morning of our
lives in Great Britain the next day is
commencing on the world, and is to
be found at this little island in the
Pacific Ocean, whence in due course
it will travel around to Us. But to
have thus the start of the world is not
an unmitigated advantage to these
islanders. Suppose one sails east
to America, what is the result? He
will find they keep the day there un-
der a different date, and he will have
to reckon one day in his calendar
twice over to put himself right with
their notions. On the other hand, if
an American crosses from east to west
this wonderful magic line where the
day begins, he will find the dates in
this fresh part of the world are one in
advance of him, and he must needs
strike a day out of his calendar to
keep up with the times. This fact
was curiously illustrated in the case
of Magellan, the Portuguese Captain,
who sailed round the world from east
to west in 1922, and having crossed
the magic line of "day's birth" in his
wanderings, his calendar became of
course a day in arrear. The sailors
were completely Ignorant of this, and
finding, on landing at home, that
their sabbath was falling on Monday,
they accused one another of tamper-
ing with the reckoning. 1t was not
for some time that the true explana-
ton was discovered.

Do Something.

Aman who kept quite a number of
men employed in different ways, so
that largely they could not be under
his immediate control, complains, in
the Industrial Gazette, that the worst
trouble he had was to secure men up
on whom he could rely to do some
thing. He would tell them plain
enough what he wanted and then
start them out. If anything should
turn up different from what they ex-
pected, the larger proportion of his
men would come back without ac-
complishing anything. n'
AS an illustration, he had a man
with "A team hauling bridge lumber
quite a distance from one of his saw
mills to a railroad shipping point. BY
securinga roasonbly early start, the
team could make a good load every
day. One afternoon, as he was re-
turning with a load, and had got
perhaps half way home, in coming
down a hill, through a strip of tim
Der, one of the hind wheels struck a
stump and by some means broke the
axle of the wagon. The man always
carried an aXe and an extra chain OF
two especially to guard against acct
dents. He was in timber where, with
very little trouble, he could have ar
ranged something that would have
taken his load into town. He might
have been a little longer than usual.
Instead of this he pulled his load to
one side of the road, unhitched his
team, and mounting one of the horses
road into town. His employer did
not happen to be at home, so nothing
was done until next morning, when
he borrowed another wagon and went
out and brought in the lumber,
and then, leaving the wagon,
rode out, rugged Il pole under

the broken axle, and brought the
wagon to town to the shop. Another
day was lost in getting the wagon re-
paired. AT least a full day lost more
than was necessary, simply because
he could not see that it was his bust
ness to do something. III could" he
said, shave stood a heavier loss with
better grace if the man had only tried
to do something rather than spend
his time doing nothing. He could at
least have shown a disposition to do
the best he could" There are plenty
of men who see a thing, routine work,
done every day, and yet if they were
told to do the same thing, would ask
to be shown how. They learn moth
ing from observation. They may
see lumber piled up every day, or see
and even help put up machinery,
load a car with certain material; yet
ask one of them to go ahead and do
by themselves just what they have
been helping do, and they will want
to be shown how. They are either
incapable or Indifferent of learning
by observation, Or even helping.
With some this is simply the result
of thoughtlessness. They do not stop
to think that they are failing to work
as they should to their employers
interests. With others, it is simply
Indifference. So the days work, or
time rather, is put in it is a small
matter whether the work accomplish
ed is in any way ~proftableto the en-
ployer or not. -t3|

mined to offer one hundred and twenty cash

take the paper who have not hitherto re.
ceiyed il. Not merely our regular agents
are invited to engage in this competition,
but all persons whatsoever who see proper
to contend for the premiums offered. A
book will be opened in which every agent
will be credited with each nan sent, be
ginning July 10, 1887, until Nov. ], 1887, a,
whice time the awards will be made accord
ing to results then ascertained, as follows:

NAA vi INT
Gus service, on persons who nave rem
dered some remarkable service either
to the industry, m or art of
the nation, and lastly on individuals
who by some notable deed of valor or con-
spicuous act of service to the state nave
rendered themselves worthy of receiving this
much coveted reward. The statutes, more
over, provide that the lumber of the Official
Gazette which contains the nomination of
the new chevalier shall likewise state dis
tinctly the reason for which tho cross has
been conferred. OF late, however, this last
condition has not been strictly en-
forced, services exceptionelles' being the
title under which the reasons AVE
been Jumped in most cases. The order is
composed of five classes, ranging from grand
Gordon to chevalier, and, except in the case
of foreigners, carries with it an annual pen
sion. The members, besides enjoying special
consideration and precedence, are entitled to
numerous small privileges, including the mil
itary salute and the attendance of a detach-
ment of troops at their funerals. 1t may be
added that the Legion of Honor is essentially
a democratic order. In its ranks are to be
found generals, senators, ministers, postmen,
policemen, simple sailors and soldiers, doc
tors, artists, priests, and even sisters of
mercy, who have distinguished themselves in
the ambulances during the wars. And
though there was known to be a vast amount
of corruption in French official circles, most
people believed implicitly in the honor of the
chancellors of this order.
But recent developments show this fond
faith to have been without grounds. There
has been a general traffic in crosses of the
Legion OF Honor.
Gen. Caffarel, chief of the headquarters
staff at the ministry of war, has been the
central figure in the gossip, but really he has
acted simply as a tool in the hands of Nine.
Limousin. She is ~humpbacked, yellow, false
haired and false toothed. She is of Ger
man birth. Limousin, who was a provincial
justice, was her second husband. Till lately
she has lived at Vincennes, where she was on
the nest OF terms with the officers of the gar
rison. An aspirant for the decoration would
address himself to the madame and pay her
10000 or 10000 francs. She would intercede
with Caffarel or other great parsonage of
her acquaintance, turn over about 80 per
cent. of the bride, and the thing would be
done. Sometimes the cross would not DO
forthcoming, but the briber would be too
ashamed of his foolishness to make a row.
Nine. Limousin, whose arrest brought
about the whole uproar, was a great friend
of the Baroness de Kaula. After this per-
sons first husband died she married Col. de
Jung, who left her. Then she became the
friend of Gen. de Cissey, then minister of
war. He used to breakfast with her on his
way from cabinet meetings. While she was
entertaining the general, clever German ste
nographers, disguised as servants, used to
take shorthand notes of the contents of his
portfolio, which were invariably forwarded

too great liberality on the part of those from
whom he voluntarily sewers himself. 1t is
here reproduced for the benefit of those who
have not yet read it:
To pursue union at the expense of the truth is
treason to Jesus. To tamper with his doctrine is
to become traitors to him. We have before us
the wretched spectacle of professedly orthodox
Christians publicly avowing union with those
who deny the faith, call the fall of man q fable,
and deny the personality of the Holy Ghost.
Mr.. Sturgeon was born at Knlvedon, Essex,
in 1884, was educated at Colchester, and be-
came an under teacher at Newmarket. Then
he joined the Baptist congregation that had
been presided over by Robert Hall at Cam
bridge, and soon became a village preacher.
When no was 10 years old he was persuaded
to go to London, and his words were
so persuasive that it was found neces
sary to build a tabernacle for the people
who focked to hear them. Its capacity was
after a while found to be inadequate, and the
present structure, holding between 5000 and
5000 people, was built. Mr.. ~Spurgeon's
sermons are distinguished by the simple ear
nestness with which they are delivered and
the homely illustrations and applications that
pervade them.
